Six Inches of Soil is an inspiring British independent documentary that explores the importance of soil health and regenerative farming. The film tells the story of young British farmers who are challenging the industrial food system, aiming to restore soil health, improve our wellbeing, and contribute to local communities through sustainable farming practices.
The documentary highlights the urgency of the current agricultural crisis but also offers hope, showcasing practical solutions that can help transform our food system for the better.

We’ve lost approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows since the 1930’s and with them gone are vital food needed by pollinators, like bees and butterflies.

But your lawn can help! A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. With over 20 million gardens in the UK, even the smallest grassy patches add up to a significant proportion of our land which, if managed properly, can deliver enormous gains for nature, communities and the climate.

This is Plantlife calls for people to get involved with #NoMowMay every year, and let wild plants get a head start on the summer.

Provide a feast for pollinators, tackle pollution, reduce urban heat extremes, and lock away atmospheric carbon below ground.
